The Calico Rock Home Economics Building is a historic school building on 2nd Street in Calico Rock, Arkansas. It is a single-story stone structure with a gable roof and a concrete foundation. It was built in 1940 by crews funded by the National Youth Administration (NYA), who ranged in age from 15 to 18 and were paid 9 cents per hour. They hand-quarried stone at a site about 0.25 miles (0.40 km) away, and erected the building under the supervision of a local builder. The building includes four kitchen areas, a central work area, and restrooms. It is virtually unaltered from its original construction except for the replacement of windows.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
